Episode Details

I didn't make it to ALIS this year thanks to a snowstorm — and Delta taking our pilot as we were boarding!! But we're not letting 2,500 miles get in the way of a little #NoVacancyNews content.

Bruce Ford, SVP at Lodging Econometrics, is reporting from ALIS while I shovel snow back at the Haussman Resort Pool Club & Smokehouse.

Bruce and I talk #hotel franchising trends right now:
🏗️: Why conversions continue dominating new development
💰: Why financing cash flow beats financing new construction
🏨: How midscale conversion brands from Hilton, IHG, and Marriott keep accelerating
🔄: What brand proliferation really means for owners
⚖️: Why public brand growth helps shareholders but complicates owner decisions
⚽: How FIFA World Cup cities may outperform — and why others need to rethink strategy
